robert mcartney murder

[leyenda]

After all this time still they cant jail his killer.Dozens of witnesses and only 3 gave evidence and that was anonymously.

Why worry about terrorism when these ira terrorists are helping coverup this mans murder?
his sisters have stayed strong thru this even after threats and intimidation.

so.
why cant they do anything about this in belfast/?
what does it really say about northern ireland at this moment in time if anything?

i will tell you leyenda in 3 words ''NOTHING HAS CHANGED'' the ira are still strong in ni dont believe what the politicians say only the bombing has stopped,believe me if this was 15 years ago the whole family would have been tarred and featherd and then shot in the head in some deserted farm in the middle of nowhere.justice for some in ni will never prevail im afraid,,,the only losers in ni are the undertakers..........

"Only the bombing has stopped"?

And the political murders and the army has gone home and the watchtowers have been disassembled.

It's called peace

And peace doesn't mean the end of crime.

Robert McCartney was alledgedly killed by 4 people 2 of whom happened to be members of the IRA not by the IRA - which is a huge difference.

The army, internment, rubber bullets achieved absolutely nothing in bringing peace to Northern Ireland it was the politicians that Stoke tells you not to trust that did that

Jake, you're correct, but so is stoke.

The fact is there were 70 plus people in that pub when it happened, many of whom were outside to see the fatal blows. Yet when the police arrived, almost every one claimed to be in the toilet at the time. Further, there was a forensic clean up of the area to ensure no evidence.

This brutal killing, and the one this week where a young man was shot dead for intervening in a row, are examples of the whole 'we haven't gone away you know' culture in NI.

Also - it's not just the IRA - the loyalists have yet to decommision a single gun.

[Whickerman]

another point just to illustrate the mentality up there - the IRA publicly announced that they were investigating, and that 4 men were responsible, and 2 were indeed IRA members.

And then told the McCartneys that all they had to do was say so and the two members would be shot.
